BOB GLUCK
Electric Songs

Catalog number: EM151

On his second CD, Bob Gluck brings together the complex overlaying of his previous work with his passion for live electronic performance. Gluck performs on traditional instruments from the Mideast, a Turkish lute, the saz and the Jewish shofar (ram's horn), which have been expanded with sensors and custom designed software interfaces.

The sounds are lush and evocative and the musical forms draw from traditional Jewish sources. Gluck is joined on one extended composition by singer, Zoe Zak.

The CD closes with a surprising early work of musique concrete, anticipating by two decades Gluck's interest in soundscape composition.
